The is a support group located in howard county Md. just select "Support Groups" to the left of the screen under "HOME". Then just navigate until you get support groups. The support groups have a good idea of the doctors in the area and what you can expect. Howard county support group meets the 1st week of every month.
good luck...

Hi, I'm brand new here, live in New Windsor, MD, near Westminster. I am now looking for LLMD. My mother has lyme and is seeing a doctor in SC, however my financial situation doesn't warrent seeing her doctor. Her doctor has reviewed testing results and supporting background information, and says that I have very bizzare symptoms of lyme, but it is "classic lyme". My mother is a medical professional and is very knowledable, however lives in VA. Can anyone private message me some very good, clear cut information on what to expect, the process for treatment/diagnosis, and where I can turn locally for help. Just in the 30 minutes I have been researching this online, it looks like lyme is an up and coming thing these days. Thanks.

You could get more information by attending one of the support groups located close to you. There is a support tab. I currently go to the one in howard county maryland. There is a lot of good information for lymies at these groups.

It sure is. I see kids playing outside and I want to scream at them to get back in their houses.
We are overrun with deer here.
I am very grateful to Lymenet for providing LLMD referrals. Because of this forum we found a good one for my niece.

For those in maryland, before you go down the road of LLMDs, you should go to some of the support groups to get a better handle of what you are up against. In these support groups are people who have years of experience with doctors of all kinds in the process of getting well. Unless your symptoms are less then a month or two old. This decision should be well thought out in my opinion.
